The God-Emperor continues to be more popular with the US
electorate than Obama ever was.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating hit 50 percent in Rasmussen’s
daily presidential tracking poll Monday, which puts him ahead of his
predecessor at the same point in the presidency. The last time Trump hit 50
percent in the Rasmussen tracking poll was February 27. At the time, he was
generally within the 47-50 percent range. The President’s approval rating
outpaces that of former President Barack Obama, who sat at 46 percent in Rasmussen’s
tracking poll on April 2, 2010.
But the more important thing about Trump's persistent popularity is the way
this reveals the increasingly limited ability of the US media to influence the
way the American people think. They are throwing literally everything and the
kitchen sink at this man and yet none of it sticks to him.
At this point, he could go down to the border, personally machine gun invading immigrants, and his popularity would increase 10 percent. The Stormy Daniels affair reveals that we have reached the point of negative returns for media hit pieces on the president.
The Washington Post is complaining that Trump is becoming increasingly hardline on immigration.

President Trump’s sharp shift in tone on immigration this week from
would-be dealmaker back to the hard-line stance he campaigned on comes amid
signs that some of his conservative base is growing impatient for him to
fulfill promises on the border wall and other measures to crack down on illegal
immigration.
Over the past two days, Trump has issued declarations on Twitter that shut the door on a legislative deal to protect young undocumented immigrants from deportation, blamed Democrats for the failure, demanded the Mexican government take stronger action to close the border, and conflated a refugee crisis from Central America with the Obama-era deferred-action program that Trump ended in the fall.

Here
is hoping that we will see truly hardline policies put in place soon. His
conservative base is right. It is time to send them back and build the wall.
